Churachandpur, May 15 2021:
Drug pushers loitering around in Churachandpur town has become a major concern for the district police who are enforcing the curfew imposed by the government.
The drug addicts/users in large number are seen mostly loitering around Tedim road, New Bazar areas.
The district police do not have a place to send them, nor can they really arrest them and as such they may become a cause for spreading the Covid virus among the public.
It has been suggested that if the government sets up facilities where they can be sent in case the police detain them for violating curfew, it will lessen the possibility of spreading the virus.
Resorting to beating them or chasing them away is not the solution as they do not have a place to go for they have all been outcast by their families.
